One Day tour
During the last 5 years we have seen an overwhelming growth in the number of visitors here.People who love the Bible and who have appreciated the unusual opportunity to visit Biblical sites which are not included in the standard Israel tour. In choosing to visit with us, you have the privilege of exploring a part of Israel never seen by many other tourists staying elsewhere in Israel.

Visiting Shilo, only 15 min ride from the hotel, Shilo was the place where the great miracle took place for Hannah, this woman who was known to be barren gave birth to the great prophet of Israel, Samuel. Shilo, the location of the high priest and the Holy Ark of Covenant.

Here in this area we can climb the heights together and enjoy the Divine Presence of God at the sites of Important Biblical events: The summit of the Mountain of Abraham the place where God first appeared to him- to understand what the "Promised Land" is all about.

The summit of Mount Gerizim, the center of Samaritan community, the Mountain of the Blessing where monotheism was proclaimed and safeguarded.

We shall finish our long day by touring Ariel, the capital of Samaria, visiting an Army base and after dinner we shall visit the Garden of Biblical Samaria (link to garden)

After visiting these sites,you will feel that you visited in the genuine roots of Israel!

To talk about Samaria (the “Shomron”) is almost like talking about a lovely maiden whom we haven't seen in a long time: whenever we speak of her ,our heart can still taste the yearning of the past and a bit of the excitement of that encounter.This is how you end up feeling about the Shomron,what the Bible calls ”that good and spacious land,flowing with milk and honey”.

The beginning of our tour is by the way of the main artery which divides the Shomron and bring us from the coastal plain (Netanya-Tel Aviv chain of cities) to the Jordan Valley. We are traveling on a historic and breahtakingly scenic route through the foothills of the Samarian Mountains, the inheritance of the Tribe of Ephraim.

What we are going to see?

Afek and Eben haEzer
-let's us try to get into the spirit of the time: The Philistines were at Afek and the Israelites at Eben haEzer.Suddenly the Holy Ark arrives at the camp,excitement seizes the camp of the Israelites..the whole story we can read at First Samuel 4.

Mt. Gerizim and Mt. Ebal-mountains of the Blessing and Curse
On the twin peaks flanking Shechem,Israel received the Blessing and Curses of the Law(Deuteronomy 27,Joshua 8) Mt. Gerizim is also sacred to the Samaritan community.

Elon Moreh-The Mountain of Abraham
This is where Abraham first saw the Promised Land and where God appeared to him and said "to your descendents I will give this Land."(Genesis 12,6-7)

Shilo - Home of the forgotten Tabernacle
Here Joshua brought the Tent of Meeting to rest after the conquest of the land, it became the home of the Holy Ark for even longer than Jerusalem (369 years). Shilo was the place where barren Hannah prayed to God for a son ,Samuel.

Ariel-Capital of Samaria
THE first smart city in Israel,approximately 19,000 residents, more then 50% of them new comers from Russia.

We can enjoy one of the modern features-namely the charming out door shopping mall with it cofee shops,supermarkets and variety stores.In the top of Ariel the College of Judea and Samaria – one of the modern miracle of this period.

We shall not forget to visit in the Mayor's office to hear his vision.
